It’s very strange for me as a Russian that like 90% of apartments for rent in Europe(CZ , DE)have no furniture so you have to invest in furniture in your temporary place , in Russia it’s completely opposite tenants don’t want any expenses except for some small things like kettle or towels.

@tauno908 I believe it depends what guarantees you have with your rental agreement, in NYC some people live paying the same monthly price they paid in 1970’s until they die. In Russia the landlord can evict you anytime on a week notice even if you pay in time with no reason…so what you gonna do with all that furniture you bought … just leave it as a present to the landlord just evicted you despite you being a very good tenant.

@manbtm1 sanitary? But you stay in the hotels, AirBnb’s and completely fine with the fact you use furniture bed sheets towels that were used before….I suppose LOL, I don’t get what’s the problem with used furniture…fine you can buy new towels bed sheets etc if you want….LOL

@sollte1239 maybe I’m a lazy Russian but 6 month is not enough for me for ANY hustle with the furniture…if it’s at least 5-10 years good price guaranteed then maybe…I would have accepted some empty space in a good location.

I liked when I visited it 3 month ago, and I’m a Russian LOL and spoke mostly Russian except for a local bank. I would say Georgians are those people you can get on a good side of pretty easily. But if they don’t know English and you still expect some top notch “service” from them you might be disappointed that’s just how it is in many places especially in the Caucasus. Treat those people like you want to be friends with them don’t demand service because “Ima customer you gonna serve me according to my expectation”. That’s the basic cultural thing you have to know about the Caucasus. They gonna do everything for a decent person, a friend but you often can’t expect those standards of western “service” applied to every customer. I think it’s cool there is a cultural diversity like that out there. This world would have been a boring place otherwise.

@rockxaction I believe tenants are very protected in Germany so they want to invest their time and money to make a rental apartment with naked water hookups and nothing else a liveable place….I mean buying a Kitchen setup and a Fridge for your rental apartment sounds absolutely crazy for a Russian….then.. if I decided to move to another city am I obliged to pay like a million euros to disassemble everything and pay someone to get it away from the apartment somewhere.

@tauno908 that’s interesting, I was looking for an apartment in Estonia some time ago and most of them were furnished(unlike CZ or DE) if I remember so 3 weeks don’t make the tenants believe buying some serious furniture is a good idea in Estonia LOL.

@AlexKall are you from Germany? It is nice to see people help each other like that. Many Russians have lost their solidarity and trust for each other, that’s the result of USSR collapse and it’s ideology was based on trust and solidarity(formally) so many Russians abandoned those things.

@AlexKall that’s cool but usually it takes a shitload of space it’s not that easy to disassemble it and reassemble it in your new place it’s not like you clicking your fingers and your furniture appears in your new rental apartment it’s a pain in the ass most Russians usually trying to avoid even if those russian movers and furniture assemblers don’t charge you a lot of money by western standards, I only imagine how much you have to pay in the west to move your furniture from one place to another especially if you don’t want to disassemble reassemble lift and move anything personally.

It’s makes no sense to live in Georgia for a Russian expat because they have the same prices as Prague now. The only reason Russians keep coming is EU is not visa free for Russia, but you can stay a whole year in Georgia with no paperwork, then get on a visa run to Turkey or Armenia get a new stamp and here we go another year in Georgia. Those Russians who have a residence permit in EU usually relocate to EU.

@AlexKall that’s something Russians would do in the past/Soviet times (getting your family and friend to help you out like that) but not anymore no one gonna waste their time to help you save a couple hundred bucks for pizza or whatever LOL

1 year then you cross the border getting new stamps in your passports and here we go another 1 year:)))that’s why Georgia is so popular among Russians you don’t need a residence permit or something, in most other countries it’s 90 days and GTF outta here.
